He decisively unleashed an Earth Tier mid-level movement technique. Lightning crisscrossed beneath his feet as he flashed away with Xu Qi.
Crackle!
Moving at incredible speed, Xu Qi successfully dodged Medusa's attack.
Although his apparent cultivation was only that of a two-star Dou Wang, the combined boosts from his many talents meant that his overall combat strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Dou Wang!
The missed strike made Medusa slightly wary, surprised by Xu Qi's movement technique.
"Such swift movement... No wonder you dared to trespass into my forbidden grounds alone. But with only this movement technique, you are still no match for me!"
Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly before attacking again without hesitation. With a wave of her jade-like hand, she sent out a massive seven-colored ribbon of dou qi that split into countless tiny techniques in midair, raining down on Xu Qi from every direction!
Xu Qi continued to use Like Thunder Like Lightning beneath his feet. While dodging the barrage with his astonishing speed, his hands swiftly formed several seals before he thrust out his palm.
"Earth Tier Mid-Level Dou Qi Technique—Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Seal!"
A massive palm seal of purple profound lightning roared forth and slammed forward, forcibly crushing all the remaining seven-colored dou qi.
But it was not over yet.
Since they were fighting, and since it was rare to encounter such a powerful opponent, Xu Qi had no intention of holding back.
"Earth Tier Mid-Level Dou Qi Technique—Nine Nether Wind Art!"
As his Dou Qi techniques circulated within him, surging dou qi transformed into a pitch-black gale that seemed to carry shrill, miserable cries as it howled fiercely toward Medusa!
The terrifying aura made Medusa's heart skip slightly.
"This aura... it has probably reached the Peak Dou Emperor. Who exactly is this man?"
The Nine Nether Wind Art was a wind-attributed Earth Tier technique. Combined with Xu Qi's various Wind Element talent boosts, its power was immense, enough to startle even Medusa.
Across the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even the neighboring empires, there were only a handful of Peak Dou Emperors. Moreover, every one of those few experts was well-known, and Medusa knew them all.
Yet the aura of the man before her, completely concealed beneath a black robe, was utterly unfamiliar.
Within the Jia Ma Empire, there were at most two Peak Dou Emperors: Jia Xing Tian, guardian of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, and Yun Shan, sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.
But Medusa had long regarded both men as old rivals, and they were intimately familiar with each other's dou qi.
The aura of the man before her clearly belonged to neither of them.
"However..."
"No matter who you are, you may be a Peak Dou Emperor, but I am now a Dou Zong. What do I have to fear?!"
A trace of resolve and determination appeared on Medusa's face as her aura surged forth. She released the full power of a Dou Zong, and with a simple wave of her jade-like hand, directly suppressed Xu Qi's Nine Nether Wind Art!
"As expected of a Dou Zong... It is still too difficult to fight her across so many levels."
Xu Qi's heart sank slightly as he quickly considered his next move.
"No matter who you are, since you have already become a threat to my Snake People Tribe, leave your life behind!"
Queen Medusa's face was ice-cold as she calmly raised a finger and pointed it at Xu Qi.
Whoosh!
A slender streak of seven-colored dou qi shot forth, instantly piercing through space as it flew straight for Xu Qi's face!
But Xu Qi had long been prepared. He raised a finger as well, using it as a sword.
"Extreme Wind: Annihilation!"
This was an Earth Tier mid-level technique he had comprehended from Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!
A tiny streak of black sword qi shot violently from Xu Qi's fingertip.
Wind Element, sword technique!
This was a technique containing two attributes, allowing it to trigger both the Wind Element talent boosts and the sword technique talent boosts at the same time.
Its power was several times greater than that of the Nine Nether Wind Art, and it had reached the level of a Dou Zong, just like Queen Medusa!
Boom!
The two tiny beams of dou qi collided in midair. There was no earth-shaking explosion, only the mutual devouring of their forces, causing the surrounding space to crack apart inch by inch...
In the end, neither technique gained the upper hand. After exhausting their energy, both dissipated at the same time.
This left Medusa even more astonished.
Xu Qi had not even used his full strength??
This man's limit was not the Peak Dou Emperor. He was a Dou Zong like her!
How was that possible?!
She had painstakingly prepared for so long, even risking immense danger by using Heavenly Flames to evolve, before finally achieving her breakthrough.
And now, some man who had appeared out of nowhere had effortlessly fought her to a draw despite only having the cultivation of a two-star Dou Wang?
Medusa could not accept it.
But just as Queen Medusa felt unwilling to yield and prepared to launch her full-strength attack,
Purple light suddenly flared from her body. Her delicate figure rapidly shrank, transforming into a tiny seven-colored snake!
Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python!
Xu Qi had already prepared himself for a hard battle, yet Medusa had turned into a little snake?
Could she not win, so she turned into a snake??
What kind of move was that???
